Ground Collision: Bombardier Challenger 300 vs. Pilatus PC-12

On June 7, 2022, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger collided with a Pilatus PC-12 while taxiing at Jet Center Los Angeles, Hawthorne Municipal Airport, Hawthorne, California. There were no injuries, however the Pilatus rudder was substantially damaged and the Challenger sustained minor damage to its left wing.

The pilot of the Challenger reported that after landing, he was taxiing via taxiway S to the parking area near the fixed based operator located near taxiway A. As the airplane approached the ramp, the pilot looked to a marshaller to start his right turn. During the turn, the marshaller gave the stop signal when the Challenger's left wing collided with the rudder of a Pilatus PC-12 that was holding short of runway 25 at taxiway A.

Neither flight crew reported that pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation. The NTSB determined the probable cause of this accident to be the Challenger pilot's failure to maintain clearance from another airplane during taxi.
